TOW HITCH

Hi:
Just got the quick release tow hitch from a used parts dealer.
Has no instructions. Does anyone have instructions or know how to use?

Thanks,

Landlover

It is in the manual on page 214 - 218 I believe, I am trying to get mine off of the truck, I cant figure it out and I have read the manual!

It is a bit tricky, and the LR3 is not around at the moment, so I don't know how much I can help. You should have two keys that go with the green look type thing on the passenger side of the hitch. I don't remember exactly how it works, but remember that in addition to locking and unlocking with the keys, you will also have to pull the green thing out and twist it. On the cheesy plastic bumper cover thing there should be some instructions, though it is hard to tell what exactly is going on in the stupid drawing.

Thanks. I just found it. Definitely not intuitive. I guess I'll be on my back for awahile.

Thanks, Floppy. I'm crawling under the beast now. Hopefully, if I can get it on, I'll be able to get it off without a trip to the dealer.

BTW, my 2005 LR3 is also an HSE Bonatti Grey.

insert the key turn clockwise then the green handle pull to passenger side of car til you see red on the base of the handle then rotate clockwise

Just looking for that hitch. How much was it? Are the generic 2" hitch end useless on these?
